The Somerset Herald KDWAKD HtXI.L. Editor and I'mprUtor ..January 4, 1 Tbi Ifernorratic fr-tnid jnnrnid now call protection to Americmn industry "wwr tax." It w the woolen liirt, nut the bloody hirt that m going to be waved in th next campaign. No country lias -cr j.ronts-rtiJ an ours ha done under the prwu-r.t protective tariff. AVhy not M well enough alone? WrrHorr protection, which create a home market, no farmer in this country, bo matter where he i Uxatted, can pnv P"-- , Now is the time fi.r all eod Idimncwn men to take an account of stock on hand. The politicians can profitably follow thin sugfswtion. A free trade President, a free trade rWretary, a free trade .aker of the HotiHe, are all working with a will in fa vor of free trade Kngland. Aftek reading "Sam" Kandall out of the party even- few days during the lai4 six months, the Ie!ii.ratic free traders in Ongrej are now lustily calling for a 'Coiuproiiii!.' JH RiMKHi'H once declared that he would go out f his way a mile to kick a sheep. President Cleveland has traveled a much greater distance to get his fling at the wool-hearing animal. Ax exchange says, one of the questions to le decide! at the next election is whether the I temocratic party shall or shall not le permitted to huy the Presi dency with English money. Nknatoh SiifcKMAS i- theory of tariff re- I tiston i ciiupriHeJ in a nut shell, "Lt come in free, everythiiig we cannot tuake. Put a duty on that wbich we can make, no that the American manufactur er can pay his norkingmen better wagea than are jiaid in Kumiss." Who can im pnve on this? Sknatob IVon want free wool and free trode generally on all things that are not produced in Alabama, hut Senator Pugh wants a heavy duty on pig iri, of which Alabama is U-eoming a large pro ducer. The Scuulor evidently thinks with Cieneral Hancock that, the tariff is a local question. The gentlemen who are setting up o'nights with the president, and tremb ling for fear of financial crisis, caused by the large surplus in the treasury, can drive dull care away by agreeing to the expedient of repealing the Internal rev enue taxes. Wijie out these taxes on whisky and tobacco and the surplus will immediately vanish. Kxcisk laws have always leen odious to the jieople of this country. They near ly produced an insurrection in this State during the administration of our first President. During the late war the peo ple submitted to theiu as war measures, hut now there is no excuse lor their er petuation. Wipe out the excise taxes on whisky and loltacco is the demand of all but the free traders. Senator ('ihmh.kic has caused the Democratic heart to ache, and opened the flood-gates of its wrath by proposing to regulate congressional elections by Fed eral law. Dreadful visions of Republican delegations in Congress from the South which would follow free and fair elec tions in that section of the Union, dis turb the slumbers of tiie leaders of the party that profit by the fraud. Friday last, tovernor Heaver issued his proclamation announcing that during the fiscal year ending on the 30th of No tciuIwt, lsS7,$Mlfc.3U of the State debt was wiped out. Our state debt now amounts to 1540.471S to meet w hich titers an amct in the sinking fund amounting to 10.iis4,:ki2,4:i. This leaves the State with an actual debt of only 85. I.'si.lHO.S'i. which will unquestionably lie w ijied out in less than five years, leaving the State entirely free from debt, w ith the ability to add much more to the mu nitievnt benefactions Iswtowed uxin her riticens. What hope is there for Southern prog ress and advancement, so long as her leading politicians and newsapers cling to the hostile sentiments cultivated dur ing the days of the rels'llion. The Re publican wrty is anxious to restore tb waste places of the Smtb, and build up it industries by protecting theiu, anil while this is apiwrcntly appreciated, and meets with favor in some quarters, yet the old sentiment m.-ulinted during the rels-llion are Js-rmitted to override the desire for ultimate pnierity, as witness the following ia:arHph clipicd from an editorial in the All-nJn 'w,atilatia : In the second plaix-, there is an issue of much more imxrta:ii'e to the Smith than the question of free trade or protec tion. It is an insu which the Republi can party at the North ) not umlcrstand, aud ol hu h they have little conception, but it is a very serious issue indeed. It will hold the South solid for many years ti come, or as long as there are any tears here of L'cpubln-.in domination. The '., utt.im helievfs thoroughly in the d.Ntrineof protection to A meruit n indus tries and American lalstr; but it also be lieve Hint Uiere (in Is? no real prisier ity fur the South should the Hcpublu'an party obtain control here. The exi-eri-nieut of negro UmiiiiatUm has lnen tried iu the South, and it led to bankruptcy, iMTuptioti, aud rum. Even free trade is referable. TsiwM aduee "when rogues fall out, honest mn come by their ow n " is being verified by reason it a IVmocratie quar rel ia Louisiana. Just now there is a contest in that between Democrnts who favor Nicholls and those w ho favor MrKnvry for tiovenhir and each faction is trying to use against the other, the tac tics of fraud and force, m hioli both have hereto t jointly used with success, a-ainst R)-ublican candidates. Mean while each faeUon is telling Ikiw it used to be done, Mr. Houston, long a IVmo cratie Wader, and bus a Mi-Entry man, replies to Mr. Wallace, aUo has always W-n a IsE-ims-rat, and lately a JVuiocrat ie Congressuian, and now a Nicoolas man, ho wax foolish enough to charge con templated fraud on the McEnery men, without w ipiug out the record of himself juui hi Nicholas associate that they joiutly perpetrated against Republican. ays Houston of Watiaee-: Mr. Walla-e is tiie last M.an ia the JHateof Louisiana who should asatl any one on politic. He never was elected to Cotiimw, as he well knows. IJiselevtioa as the grandest fan-e ever perpetrated upon the people. The ballot-lioxes were luffed from one end of the town to the other to return hiui. He knows this, or ought to know it, from conversations w ith the men who had charge of his canvass. Here is a IS'mo.-rati confession that a fellow was sent to Congress from Louis iana to aid in making laws tor Pennsyl vania and other Nortiiern Stales, by di rect fraud and the suppression of the Re publican rote ia his district. A lair election would have returned BepuWi can. Tbi is the way the fraudulent Democratic majority U kept in Congress, which obstructs and overrides the will of the true Republican majority of the Na tion. Republicans have frequently tea! fid to fran.ls of this character in Con gressional elections in the Southern State, and they have been met with point olanx denials by the scon nd re's who perpetated the frauds, and by the howl of " bloody shirt," but here is 1 temocratic testimony and Democratic confession that will per mit of no defense from Democratic sources. The rogues are quarreling over th division of their bootv. and in their fierce anger they jointly confess that it was stolen. Dropped In Th Strt. Washhotox, U.C.. Dec. .-Mrs. Eunice Bosworth Tarlor, wife of Congressman E.

Children Stampeded. Chkaoo. Iec. 30. A horrible panic oc curred to-night among a crowd of little chil dren aitending the annual holiday celebra tion of the Haymarkct Mission in Seaman's Hall. The mission conducted by the First Omgivgational Church through a Sus-riD- teiideut, Uii hard D. Iy. The lis-ation is just a bUs-k fmin the scene of the anarchist Isimb thnwing, and most of the half hun dre.1 children present were drawn from the squalid tenements in the neigblsrhood. The little ones were passing up and down stairs, when a shivering youngster, attempt ing to poke the fire in the hall, overturned the stove. Superintendent Lay thoughtless ly yelled " Fire, fire," and a w ild rush by the children followed. They were met by others mining in, and all were wedged in the narrow stairway.

Dec. 31. For several days past tiie inhabitants of the northern part of Franklin tow nship have beeu agitated over the apanuiee of a strange and ferocious looking animal in the " Big Woods," near Ml. Olive. It has been seen oil several oc casions, by various residents of that vicinity all of w hom pronounced the hideous mon ster a panther or lynx, it being, in sise, be tween the two. At night, the watch d.gs of the entire iHighlstrhiiod are summoned from their kemiells by its fierce yells, and the neighbor ing resiflents are becoming alarmed to such an extent that they are loath to venture from indoors, after the shadows of night have gathered. They are even almost afraid to send their children to school, in the day time, although the frightful quadrujied has never Isen observed afier sunrise. It gains its sulc-istenee from the numerous flocks of sheep and hogs of the neighborhood. Bound and Gagged A Woman. Reaiunu, Iee. 30. The residence of Hen ry S.

A Fiend's Habitation. Pik-KSK. Dak- Dec. si. ror month a certain degree of mystery has surrounded the movements of John Lablant, a fSoux Indian alf-brad. on a ranch at Willow Creek. IS miles west of this city, near the old Deadwissi stage nmte, on tiie Sioux reservation. Lablanfs ranch was formerly the stopping pbvc of lilack HUls travelers. Many people who left Pierre for tbe hills were never beard from after leaving this city. A few days ago Lablant was detected in cattle stealing. A posse of men organized at Fort Pierre to go out and take tiie cattle. Upon reaching the ranch tbe bin! had flown but the apjswrsme of things looked very suspicious and tliev returned to town and reported. Yesterday ttw Sheriff of this county and a numls-r of citizens proceeded to tbe ranch to make a thorough investigation of tbe premise. The bouse was first examined, In one hall room of tbe house, in front of bed, was observed what appeared to be an opening or trap disr. With an axetbis was pried out, and was found to be hung on binges so it would drop when a cord was pulled. The cord extended from a bolt un der the door to the rim occupied by Lab lant. Ueniiig the entire trap it was found to be 12 feet deep and 14 feet square. Lad ders and lanterns were hastily provided and an examination of the cave was made. As soon as the trap was dropied, tbe stench that arose was terrible. The examination of the cavern revealed a number of skeletons 12 grown human beings and two small ones. No clothing was found in the bole. The only article that was found was an iron bar alKiut two feet in length, which, it is sup posed, the fiend used to murder his victims. after be had .dropjied them through the trap. Tbe ranch is in a lonely spot on the bank of a creek, 10 miles from any human habita tion. Lablant has not been seen for several davs, aud it is believe"! he lias fled to some of the Indian camps on thel"perClieyenne. Vick's Floral Guide. A silver lining to everv cloud !
